Low 12's with just a plug and play tune from a 2.0 liter four-cylinder? Believe it! Australia's Willall racing was able to get the A45 AMG equipped with the M133 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged motor to run a 12.280@112.14. This is with just a Stage I piggyback tune and pump gas. For those who wondered if it was possible for tuned 45 AMG's to break into the 11's it appears they will be able to do so rather easily with supporting modifications.

I'm interested to see what happens with this platform, but honestly I feel like it's going to turn into the tuner bastard child for Mercedes creating a car with their badge on it with an image they really never wanted...but they that's what they get for putting a boosted 4 cylinder in an AMG...

They built that stupid C hatchback thing with a supercharged motor and it never happened.

Agreed. I love the new mb offerings, if I was balling real hard I'd go for a new TT cls no doubt. This car will attract middle class youth looking for a tunable car with a nice badge presence and will be wildly successful because of that. I can't think of much for the price I'd rather have. I'm bmw in and out but hate the F30 and F32. This car is superior

That is awesome. Defiantly a bang for buck car! Just as quick as the C7 with having 2 more seats!

On a serious note though, you can't really beat it. MB quality and plenty of power stock then you add in a tune you have a car that will give a RS5, X5M, X6M and possibly the new M4/M3 a good run for its money and it's a turbo 4 banger.

"Hey man you were just beat by a turbo 4 cylinder!" HAHAHAHAH my inner Honda is coming out sorry!

M133 will be an interesting case compared to all other AMG V8/V12's. I hope those new young owners (ex. Honda, Mitsu, VW, Subaru, etc) will be willing to fix out of their pocket when they push engine to the limit, instead of passing the bill to MB/AMG.

That's going to be the interesting question.

The CLA is bringing a lot of new owners to the brand. Yes, they will be younger.

oh don't worry about that with me. I'll have no problem fixing the damn thing myself or paying to get it fixed.

I looked up the price of the new SRT Jeep and it was around 70k and ran a 13.3
